Still as yet to be fully determined. Was 1qb ppr last year with some extra starting spots (1qb, 2rb, 3wr, 2flx, 1te I believe) and bigger bench than most leauges. Once we get our 12 we can chat and decide how exactly to have it. There were a few wishing for auction instead of a normal snake draft, so maybe some chat on that.

If it's auction it should be a requirement for no autodraft. Autodraft drives the prices up on players super fast for auction leagues.

Auction is definitely way more intensive. I’d prefer not to, but I know some people pushed hard for it last year.

Like last year a live snake draft we all did would be great. If someone vanishes after round 10 auto picks past that point aren’t a big deal. But even regular draft really don’t want anyone autodrafting starters or notable bench

That said.... WHO'S UP FOR WAR ROOM FANTASY FOOTBALL SEASON 2?!?

Last year was a hard fought battle, were we saw the red and blue blooded Americans almost unanimously squash the pitiful kneelers.

@Broke Lester was our innagural champion followed by @MMAisGod in 2nd and @HockeyBjj in 3rd. @sickc0d3r was the best performing from the lefty division at 4th. @Trotsky followed at 5th then @Gregolian and poor @Lowmanproblems in 7th who had to play in the big boy's conservative division. @zebby23 , @PolishHeadlock2 , and finally @kpt018 rounded out the kiddie table liberal side.

We'd also like to bump up the number of teams from 10 to 12, and poor @zebby23 passed away during the offseason (I hear his ghost may yet be around to still play). @AnGrYcRoW I know you showed interest before, any other loungers or war roomers like to join? No money, just bragging rights and smack talk. Loser has to wear an avatar chosen by the victor/league from the end of the fantasy football season until after the Superbowl. @kpt018 had a very sexy Ted Cruz pink unicorn avatar announcing boldly that he did indeed suck at fantasy football.

Returners, quote or PM me if you're still in to play. Anyone new, quote and preferably PM as well so that I don't risk losing you or missing someone. Platform is Yahoo. I'll probably edit this post here for a roll call to keep track.

PAC12 will likely follow suit soon too then. Everything I saw said their decision was hinged on if another major conference would postpone or cancel the season.

The rumors have been rumbling for awhile and it makes me laugh how ESPN tried to throw the new WSU coach Rolovich under the bus. He had a meeting with a receiver that wanted to express concern in playing and it got twisted to Rolo supposedly telling the receiver he's either playing or cut from the team but the convo was closer to Rolo saying to the receiver "that's your decision but please understand if there is a season and you choose to opt out you likely would be replaced on the team"

Huh. Still don’t like that. Obviously they’ll need to fill in a receiver for the opt out year, but then when he’s back the next year it’s like any other season where the best players make the team and anyone below the cut don’t.

So, someone that understands economics/finances more explain something to me....

if the stimulus checks we have received so far (and the proposed one that the dipshits in DC couldn't come to an agreement on last week) are considered "advanced tax credits".... does that mean we will owe more on taxes in 2021 or are they like a loan we don't repay?

I hate trying to understand this shit.

I'm taking a shot just to see if I have any idea what I'm talking about; i.e. I don't care at all if I'm wrong since I will learn from being corrected:
Usually, a tax credit of x amount reduces your tax payable (as opposed to your taxable income, and note I might have this exactly backwards) so in this case, it would theoretically be an amount that comes off your 2020 tax payable but they will have already paid it to you so it will actually be cancelled out and your payable tax stays the same.

In other words, it's for bookkeeping purposes and has literally no effect on you personally whatsoever.

Yeah, I think it was in reference to at least this season with the next season up for like a tryout.

Well you finally posted something worthwhile.

A cold mango in hot weather is as good as it gets. Doesn't even matter that it's impossible to eat and not make a mess.
 
This site is like "let's add some new smileys haha but also we need to remove some old ones or else the whole thing crashes down". Every little change they make is apparently like pulling a block out of a jenga tower.
